Sometimes it just isn't possible to avoid explosions or other [[Area Effect]] attacks, so you've learnt to keep low and tuck in tight to try and minimise damage as you dodge. After making an [[Athletic Dodge]] or [[Dodge Roll]], you can fall back on Duck & Cover if you were unable to clear the area – although this worsens the default [[Recovery Penalty]] by 2 (abilities that reduce Recovery Penalties apply as normal). <br />
<br />
Duck & Cover applies a -1 [[DC]] to any area-effect damage you suffer while using it, unless the damage was of [[Quake]] type. If the area-effect causes [[Burning]], then this damage is also reduced (since burning damage is proportional to the initial damage that set you on fire) and the duration of the burning damage is reduced by one turn (skip the first turn of burning). Since Duck & Cover relies on you throwing yourself to the ground, it cannot be combined with an [[Acrobatic Dodge]].<br />
